State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. shared some of his biography the other day with a man who had pleaded guilty to a felony marijuana possession charge. Kloch ordered five years' probation for Fred P. Smallman, 49, of Lockport-Olcott Road, Newfane. Smallman said he's been smoking marijuana "since I was a teenager." "It's illegal in this state," replied Kloch, who reminded Smallman that he would have to give it up or risk a probation violation that could land him in prison for as long as four years.
